This park is absolutely amazing on many levels. Well maintained and gorgeous trees on the east side is the view of the lake that is better than the Oasis on Lake Travis. Always free always free and a perfect spot for families or couples. The children love it and you can see the entire panorama of Canyon Lake. Everyone is always happy there and there is a special feeling about the place of freedom. It truly makes it a joy to be an American and to have such special peaceful and accessible spots for the ones you love. Often views of sailboats and skiers in front of the backdrop of a glorious Hill country sunset with beautiful Cascades of Guadalupe hills rolling into the lake. The park is well maintained and safe. Parking is sometimes a walk because it is such a popular location for everyone from college students to children and senior citizens walking along the dam for exercise. The spot is truly a joy that should be embraced by everyone in Central Texas. To the east you have a view of the gorgeous Canyon valley and the activity below on the river. Oftentimes you will see fly fisherman in the river which is remarkable for the ambiance of Central Texas and quite a pleasant surprise. Put this location on your list for a beautiful spring day and make some memories with your family!

We went Sat 08/08/20 it was very nice! Water was cold and perfect for the hot temps that day, The only thing is the hike down the cliff/hill side so many rocks, uneven pathway down to the water very dangerous & quite scary for me since I'm afraid of heights. You must wear good walking shoes no sandals or slides & bring water shoes for swimming There's no sand, trees & grass only rocks all around to set up sit and enjoy the day. TIP*park on the side of the road at the entrance closest to the main gate entry in front of the brown house-building, if you go to the end by the (u-turn) where the port-potties are that's where the walkway is bad/dangerous.... The other way down to the lake is also tuff since it's at an incline but way better than the trail way down at the end of the road. TIP** travel light bring a canopy for shade,chairs & a ROLLING cooler! It was a BIG hassle for my hubby carrying all of our stuff down the rocky/cliff trailway.

About an hour driving from Austin, Overlook Park consists of a short trail that lead to a "beach". Even though that's not a real beach, you can still enjoy sunbathing, fishing, swimming, and even canoeing or taking tons of pretty photo shoots here. That's such a great place to get fresh air and refresh yourself. There's also a grass field right next to the parking which is a nice place for picnic and photos of nature. The "beach" was sort of crowded when I was there since it's summer, so I spent most of my time there to take photos around the grass field instead. The flowers were great for portraits. Restrooms are located around the parking lot, make sure you have some paper lol The dam is opened. I heard that's a nice view of sunset but I was leaving too early that day unfortunately. Definitely come back for the dam some days. Recommended.
